Artificial soil nutrient, aggregate stability and soil quality index of restored cut slopes along altitude gradient in southwest China.

Abstract:

:In the subalpine mountainous region of southwest China, the artificial soil properties of restored cut slopes along the altitude gradient were studied, including available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), urease (UR), sucrase (SC), protease (PR), catalase (CAT), texture, and aggregate stability of soil. Soil aggregatet stability by mean weight diameter (MWD), geometric mean diameter (GMD), structure failure rate (P), index of unstable aggregates (IUA) and area difference of dry and wet sieve cumulative distribution curve (ΔS) were measured and analyzed. It was found that available soil nutrients, UR, and CAT activities increased initially and then decreased, but the texture of soil was finer, and aggregate structure tended to be more stable along with an increase in the altitude gradient. The soil aggregate stability index that MWD, GMD, P, IUA, and ΔS indicated that the higher the altitude, the stability of soil aggregates was better. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine the soil quality index (SQI). The obtained results from this study showed that the artificial soil quality of the cut slopes was better at a higher altitude compared to a lower altitude. These results provide a reference for the improvement of artificial soil properties of cut slopes and their quality in the future. It is necessary to pay attention to the soil quality management at a low-altitude area and reform the soil nutrients, enzyme activities, and soil structure for the restored cut slopes in the mountainous subalpine highway of southwest China.
